How can I Prevent Crime at My House and in My Neighborhood?
These proven crime prevention measures will go a long way toward keeping you from becoming a crime victim:
Keep your home's doors, garage, and windows shut and locked at all times.
Improve your outdoor lighting.
Don't leave lawn equipment or toys outside or in an open garage.
Keep car doors locked and windows shut while driving and when parked.
Don't keep valuables in plain view inside your car.
Check behind when turning into your neighborhood or apartment complex and again before turning into you alley or driveway. If someone is in close proximity, drive past your home to a well lit and populated area to call 911.
Remember that as many crimes occur during daylight hours as at night. Don't let your guard down because it is day.
Take vacation precautions:
Ask someone to pick up mail and newspapers daily.
Arrange to have your lawn mowed or leaves raked.
Even better, have someone stay in your home while you are away, if this is possible.
Sound simple doesn't it? But it works!
